Hi Midadi and friends.
Less than one week to get the final approval, that was quick.
Concerning the online corporate induction form you are reffering to, I had to complete something like that within a couple of days after the golden call, but it is called On-line Joining Form. Did you also do this one?
If it is the same one, there is nothing to worry about, just a form about personal details as permenent adres, family members, smoker or non smoker........

Hi Stacie
Cool that we have the same DOJ. I my self didnīt think I would be able to finish my medicals within two weeks, but I managed. From what I have read they are not that strict, they say try to get them done as soon as possible. Tell your doctor and dentist that you are in a hurry to have your medicals complete. I had to have some minor dental work done and my dentist didnīt have any reasonable time slots for me, but I told him that I could take some canceled ones and that worked out just fine - this is how I managed to get mine done on time. Now I am waiting for that final approval.
Keep in touch.

Re: Medicals,
For the last two posts...
I am 'starting' on 28th March, after being told to complete medicals in early Jan I have only just sent my medical on last week. As long as you send what you have completed straight away then it keeps them in the loop and shows that you are trying.
Also if anyone else can help me with this, I have been requested to provide a seprate Haemoglobin report. How it this possible when the doctor only dashes the blood on a stick and a small computer gives him a number then writes this on the medical form? If anyone can give me a hint of what I need to ask the doctor for etc... that would be great.

medicals
Hi
You could ask your doctor to write a report with all the necessary details about the heamoglobin test conducted and results/level, he should sign it and get it stamped. In my case the doctor took a blood sample and sent it to a lab, after that I got the report from my doctor with the doctors stamp and signature. Just tell the doctor that a report is required.
I hope this answer will help you.

Medicals and Security Checks
Hi,
I got the golden call and now I am working on the medical forms. When I asked the lady who called congratulating me, I asked what the final confirmation is based on, and she said it is based on passing the medical and being able to obtain a security clearance pass. Then I will get another final call.
But what is worrying me is that I was charged with something last year, but I was never convicted and the charges were dropped and withdrawn. But my record will show that charges dropped. Is this something to worry about? Like anyone can be accused of something, but I was never appointed guilty.
Kind of worried and if anyone could help,.. i would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Your chocks on and off question.
Chocks on is when the plane lands and hits its parking point and chocks off is also known as push back when you are departing. From point to point is the time you get paid. That is how you build up your flight pay.

Correct, and the only way for the crew to know the flight time is to listen to the First Officer once we are on the bus (in DXB) returning to the Crew Briefing Center, aka C.B.C., and write down the time, at the end of the month you need to add up yourself all the hours and minutes and you get the total flight time, it's very easy, don't worrie !!!

Thank you so much for those who answered my questions, now i understand how EK's cabin crew get paid for those flying hours! Btw, will the water/electricity expense in the apartment be covered by EK? What about the house keeping? We need to cover that? 
Thanks again, Marlon

Hey Marlon, it's all paid for, you won't worrie about a thing habibi, didn't they give you a couple of photocopies on the interview?, I thought that they explained quite a bit.
Evogear, the open day usually starts at 09:00, you have to check it up, then make sure that you are there at least 08:30, so that you are relaxed, nothing worst that get stressed out over traffic or rushing for you "big day", good luck !!!

hi
Donīt worry. Just keep on calling them, they will answer eventually.
Many of those who came to the assessment day in Stockholm didnīt get an invitation, but they went anyway, and some of them made it all the way to the final inteview.

questions about open day and CV
Hey,
I want to go to an open day in my country on the 15th of March but if I click on the day and country under venue it says postponed until further notice....does that mean they have postponed the open day or is that just them not knowing in which hotel its gonna be held yet?
Also, any tips on writing a good CV?? Do i only add education or work history or also interests? Does it matter about the layout?
Cheers!

Aren't there normally 10 reasons in a list?
Well, in answer to your nine points,
1)Yes, Dubai is racist, no doubting that. Unfortunately, though, so is my 'home' Country. But NOT in favour of the 'locals'!
2) Don't base your decision to join on Pilots. Pilots are professional moaners and proud of it.
3) And aren't we all? I'm sure you didn't join just for Emirates benefit.
4) Learn to bid properly and be more flexible. You are going to get crap in your bottom months.
5) Show me a major city that doesn't have traffic on the roads. At least they're building new roads and bridges to cope.
6) Can't disagree with you on that. A big problem that's getting worse and people should be very wary!
7) Yep, you do work hard but at least you've got curtains on the Perth now. Or is it still 'being looked at'?
8) Too many 'sleazy Lebaneze' being brought back to girls apartments and parties at 4 in the morning while crews trying to rest. Behave like kids, get treated like kids. Besides, you're obviously not tipping the security guard enough. 1000dhs a month doesn't go far in Dubai as you already know.
9) Only by the Lebanese stewards! Having said that, one or two of our female crew discovered a way of supplementing their meagre income and starting earning a little bit extra on the side. When I say little, just enough to run an audi soft top and buy a few diamonds.
Like to keep things balanced and in perspective. still awaiting your 10th point.
